Contemporary Research 1 iC-Net Tips – RF Design and Installation

RF Design and Installation

The architecture of a Contemporary Research SignStream Media Express or Display Express

display control system follows the same design as a standard RF local insertion system. A

key aspect of the system is that the underlying iC-Net technology is compatible with most

existing RF systems, and control channels used for display operation will not conflict with

current TV channels or sub-channels.

Local AV, including:

o AV sources, digital cable or satellite recievers feeding analog modulators

o Off-air HDTV channels inserted as digital QAM channels

o HD sources feeding HD cable modulators

o SignStream HDTV channels

Cable Feed, using a noise filter, if needed

SignStream or Display Express control, inserted as micro control channel

Local Sources

Each local AV source feeds an RF modulator. Analog video sources, such as DVD players, or

a PC that runs standard 4:3 digital media such as digital videos or a PowerPoint information

channel, feed the AV output of the source to an analog channel modulator. CR QMOD HD

Modulators can be used to distribute HD sources as digital QAM cable channels.

There are many ways to balance the channels, depending on the design of the system.

Obviously, the output of some channels will be reduced, while others are amplified.
